The 3 styles of shorts everyone will be wearing this summer.

With summer only weeks away, we need to turn our urgent attention to shorts.

If your old linen pair are looking a bit tired this year, never fear — there's a crop of new styles that will refresh your entire summer look. And we have the proof.

Here's the lowdown on the three shorts you're about to see everywhere, and where to shop them now like the clever, organised lady you are.

But first, watch as the hosts of our fashion podcast, Nothing To Wear, dissect why "jorts" are here to stay.

You can Blame Zoe Kravitz for this one — the style icon sent sales of Adidas' iconic track shorts soaring after she was pictured wearing a black pair with a graphic red tee and heels in New York. Summer outfit goals, unlocked.

Sports shorts are officially having a glow-up, and it makes sense after our seasons-long obsession with "fashion trackies".

Side-stripe shorts in nylon, terry towelling and cotton are hitting the shops — but just because they borrow heavily from the track-and-field aesthetic doesn't mean they need to resemble a PE uniform when you wear them.

Elevate the vibe for daytime by pairing them with a fitted tee and chic slides, or channel Zoe and wear them out for girls' lunch with kitten heels.

This is one of those 'so wrong it's right' kind of style flexes, so you kinda need to lean into it.

Track shorts not for you? That's okay, we've got cute alternatives.

With Copenhagen's street style scene continuing to influence how we dress, their unique approach is set to inspire our summer wardrobes, too.

The Scandinavians are pros at managing the delicate balance between feminine and cool, and often that comes down to rethinking traditionally "girly" pieces — take the blouse, for example, or the recent micro-trend for bloomers.

This season, we'll see that influence trickle through to shorts, with styles in gingham, eyelet lace and satin that lend a touch of sweetness to your outfit.

The trick is to keep it from feeling like you're wearing pyjama shorts. Team a gingham pair with an oversized shirt and leather sandals to give the look some polish, or style lace-trim shorts with a white tank and khaki jacket to keep it casual.

Bermuda shorts.

According to the style experts on our fashion podcast Nothing To Wear?, this divisive trend is sticking around through summer and beyond.

If the thought of wearing "long shorts" still concerns you, take baby steps towards this newer shape. You don't need to go full preppy if that look isn't for you; it's about embracing a longer-line silhouette that works for your proportions.

You might prefer a cut that ends mid-thigh, rather than at the knee. It all comes down to personal preference.

The latest styles we're seeing in store offer a refined take on the silhouette, with streamlined options in linen and cotton.

And if you can't get through summer without a pair of denim shorts, a more Bermuda in white denim might be just the thing to freshen things up from your old jean cut-offs.
